FOUNDATION PLANTING 
Turning to pages 7 to 1 1 we find deciduous shrubs suitable for this purpose grouped 
according to heights, to bloom (or lack of it) , and the color of blossoms, and the blooming 
period. Select the colors and blooming periods that you most prefer. But do not select 
too many kinds. On a border planting of average size (such as the foregoing sketches 
represent) ten or tweh'e varieties make a much better showing than do twenty or thirty.

under windows, leaving spaces as required for coal window, cellar bulkhead, etc.
